"Paul Williams, volunteers director at Wikimedia UK, the British arm
of the American company, said: "Sock-puppeting is a very serious
offence for anybody. But for someone on the Arbitration Committee it
is even more so. It can result in a lifetime ban. The problem with
Wikipedia is that you can hide behind user names, but there is an
expectation that you don't write for self-interest. In this case
there is a conflict of interest.""
"[ArbCom] is responsible for settling hundreds of editorial disputes every
day."
